In line with the announcement made on 18 November 2008, ING today
provides an update on the process to voluntary delist the ING shares
from the Paris, Frankfurt and Swiss stock exchanges. Since the
announcement, all relevant authorities and exchanges have approved
the applications to delist.

NYSE Euronext has notified ING that the delisting from Euronext Paris
will be effective on 20 January 2009, after the single order book for
the Amsterdam, Brussels and Paris exchanges has been implemented. The
last day of trading on Euronext Paris therefore will be 19 January.
The delisting from the Frankfurt Stock Exchange is scheduled to be
effective on 26 February 2009, with the last trading day 25 February.
The delisting of ING shares from SIX Swiss Exchange is expected to be
effective on 3 March 2009, with the last trading day 2 March.

The decision of ING to concentrate trading of its (depositary
receipts for) shares on the stock exchanges in Amsterdam, Brussels
and New York was based on the low volume of shares traded on the
other exchanges, the fact that the original reasons for a broad range
of listings were no longer relevant and the costs associated with
maintaining the listings.
